# Saylor Innovations Irrigation Water Volume Calculator

> Saylor Innovations Irrigation Water Volume Calculator is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-17).

Calculates irrigation water volume requirements in liters and cubic meters given irrigated area, target depth, and system efficiency

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://saylorinnovations.com/api/agriculture/irrigation?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability saylor-innovations-irrigation-water-volume-calculator-ca2fd077
```

Example prompt: How many liters of water do I need to irrigate a 3000 square meter field to a depth of 25mm, assuming my drip system runs at 75% efficiency?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, formula-based estimate of irrigation water volume from basic agronomic inputs (area, depth, efficiency). It is ideal for planning, budgeting, or reporting scenarios where a straightforward volumetric calculation suffices and real-time sensor data or complex soil models are not required.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameters (area_m2, depth_mm, or efficiency) returns an error
- Efficiency value outside 1–100 range may return a validation error
- Non-positive values for area or depth may be rejected
- Network or server errors return non-200 status
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents access to results

## How this service works

Irrigation water volume estimate from area, target depth and system efficiency - liters and cubic meters

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the echoed input values (area in m², water depth in mm, system efficiency percent), the calculated estimated volume in liters, the estimated volume in cubic meters, the formula used for the computation, and a scope note explaining what the estimate covers and its limitations.
